Best New Froyo Flavors of 2019

True Tahini at Yoga-urt

Fro-yo girl here. I don’t think there will be any additional new froyo flavors this year, so it’s time for me to pick my favorite froyo flavors of 2019.

Best Tart: Blueberry Avalanche Tart froyo from Yogurtland

The top two tart flavors this year were Kiwi Strawberry from Pinkberry and Blueberry Avalanche from Yogurtland. Yogurtland’s flavor was tarter and had lots of blueberry flavor. It wasn’t the most creative flavor since Yogurtland already had a blueberry tart froyo, but they put more blueberries in Blueberry Avalanche. But then again, given the rarity of new tart froyo flavors, I’m happy that there were a few new tart flavors from which to choose.

Best Sweet: Golden Graham Cracker froyo from Menchie’s

Golden Graham Cracker was the Menchie’s feature flavor way back in January. I almost forgot about it but then I remembered thinking that starting the year off with such a great flavor was a good sign for the new year. I like being able to see bits of graham crackers in the froyo. The yogurt tasted like graham crackers without being cloyingly sweet. And graham crackers go with every froyo topping, I think.

Best Vegan: True Tahini from Yoga-urt

Yoga-urt continues to wow with the best vegan froyo flavors anywhere. What sets it apart? The freshness and quality of their product for starters. They make their own vegan base with housemade cashew and almond milk. Mr. Froyo was the one who suggested the flavor. He’s also sensitive to sugar, so he LOVES that Yoga-urt’s True Tahini is made with no added sugar. I like that it’s not as sweet as halva and it’s different and interesting. Sweetening yogurt with dates makes it very Middle Eastern.

Yogurtland Abominable Promotion Launches on September 2, 2019

Fro-yo girl here. It’s been a few years since Yogurtland’s last movie tie-in promotion featuring character spoons. The last one was DreamWorks Trolls in 2016. I’m happy to see a new movie tie-in. The new Yogurtland promotion for the animated movie, DreamWorks Abominable, launches on September 2. It features:

* Blueberry Avalanche Tart froyo: This seems to be Everest’s favorite flavor. It’s nonfat, gluten free, and made with real blueberry. It tastes like the regular Yogurtland Blueberry tart, a flavor that I really like. It’s thick, creamy, and full of tangy blueberry flavor. I'm told that they added more blueberry flavor, so it is a new flavor. Recommended toppings: mochi, blueberries, raspberries and Magic Snow Rings.

* Magic Snow Rings topping: These are white and blue sour raspberry gummy rings. They’re firm and chewy. Delicious!

* Two new collectible spoons: blue yeti named Everest and purple Yi (girl).

* Abominable limited edition collectible cup. The yeti is featured. I don’t know the names of any of the characters. There’s a mountain on the cup too. I’m guessing that it’s Mount Everest. 

Yogurtland employees have cute blue Abominable t-shirts. Take your picture with Everest and share your froyo with him. Catch Abominable in theaters starting September 27.
